Title: marriage look up please
Post by: sparkles on Thursday 05 May 11 23:03 BST (UK)
I am hoping someone can find info on the marriage of Patrick McAllister and Mary Tierney.
I dont have much to go on except that their son patrick was born c1862 and on his marr cert his residence was Drumsaragh( thats what it looks like) Patrick jnr married in Magerha RC Church.
I am hoping that if i can get info on parents marriage i can trace Patrick,s birth.

TIA

Christine

Drumsaragh would be the townland- it's between Garvagh and Kilrea. The church would be Maghera. Civil registration of Catholic marriages started in 1864 so the only record for Patrick and Mary's wedding would be from the church records.

Did Patrick marry someone named Sarah? If so, this might be them in 1911-

If the marriage took place in 1876 then it's unlikely Patrick was born c1862 as he would have only been about 14 years old  :-\
